Gratitude

Without love I would be nothing. On the final days of one of the most demanding years of my life, I look back not with the exhaustion of building another new business or raising two energetic children; not with the sadness of loss of another year in my 30's; not with regrets of any kind; but with gratitude.

I am grateful for the love of a great man, the honour of being a mother, the privilege of owning a business in a world where in some countries women are not even allowed to show their faces and the blessing of friendship.

Thank you friends, for enriching my life, for adding your story to mine and for the promise of many beautiful chapters to come.

I say good bye to 2007 while sharing a few photos of friends that I am especially grateful for. Jenn Jenn and Luke now live on the West Coast and only make it back here a couple of times a year. With the promise of feeding me, I consented to shoot a few images....seriously, beautiful people, inside and out. Love you both.
